Python 3.0.1 Release

Python 3.0.1

Python 3.0 is end-of-lifed with the release of Python 3.1.
All users of Python 3.0 should upgrade to Python 3.1.

Python 3.0.1 was released on February 13, 2009. It was a bugfix
release of Python 3.0.

This is the first bugfix release of Python 3.0. Python 3.0 is now in
bugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. Dozens of bugs that were
reported since the release of 3.0 final have been fixed.

Python 3.0 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new
version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of
releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details,
especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work,
have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have
finally been removed. Also, the standard library has been reorganized
in a few prominent places.

The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture (formerly EM64T), i.e. the architecture that Microsoft calls x64, and AMD called x86-64 before calling it AMD64. They will not work on Intel Itanium Processors (formerly IA-64).
